Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ink composition for ink jet recording.
  • ink compositions for ink jet recording should provide a print on various recording media without bleeding.
  • various ink compositions have hitherto been proposed in the art (for example, Japanese Patent Publication Nos. 2907/1990, 15542/1989 and 3837/1990).
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,156,675 discloses an ink composition containing diethylene glycol monobutyl ether.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,183,502 discloses an ink composition containing a surfactant.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,196,056 discloses an ink composition containing diethylene glycol monobutyl ether and a surfactant.
  • Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether is called "butylcarbitol" and disclosed in, for example, U.S. Patent No. 3,291,580.
  • U.S. Patent No. 2,083,372 discloses an ink composition containing diethylene glycol ether.
  • recycled paper has become used from the viewpoint of environmental protection.
  • the recycled paper comprises components of various types of paper.
  • penetration of an ink composition into the recycled paper varies from component to component, which results in bleeding in the print.
  • a method has been proposed wherein recording paper is heated at the time of printing. In this method, however, a certain period of time is required for the paper to be heated to a predetermined temperature. Furthermore, power consumption becomes high, which is not cost-effective. Moreover, there is a fear of the recording paper and print being deteriorated by heating.
  • the ink composition for ink jet recording should satisfy further property requirements including that it should provide a good print density and a long intermittent printing time and be stable and less likely to clogging of nozzles.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an ink composition for ink jet recording which has various excellent properties, especially an ink composition for ink jet recording which can realize printing with less bleeding.
  • the ink composition for ink jet recording comprises a dye, propylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether (PGmBE) and/or dipropylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether (DPGmBE) and a water-soluble glycol ether other than PGmBE and DPGmBE, the amount of PGmBE and DPGmBE being 3 to 30% by weight based on the ink composition.
  • PGmBE propylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether
  • DPGmBE dipropylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether
  • the ink composition of the present invention comprises PGmBE and/or DPGmBE in a total amount of 3 to 30% by weight, preferably 5 to 10% by weight, based on the ink composition.
  • the content of PGmBE and DPGmBE within the range can effectively prevent bleeding of the ink on recording paper.
  • the ink composition of the present invention may comprise a water-soluble glycol ether in addition to PGmBE and/or DPGmBE.
  • PGmBE and/or DPGmBE with a water-soluble glycol ether enables the above amount of PGmBE and DPGmBE to be realized.
  • PGmBE and DPGmBE has only a limited solubility in water. According to studies of the present inventors, for example, when PGmBE and DPGmBE are used alone, the solubility thereof in water is 5 to 6%, whereas the presence of other components of the ink composition, such as dyes, lowers the solubility to less than about 2%.
  • the addition of a water-soluble glycol ether to the system enables the above amount of PGmBE and DPGmBE to be realized.
  • various properties of the ink composition can be improved. More specifically, for example, prints free from bleeding can be provided.
  • water-soluble glycol examples include ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers, diethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers, triethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers, propylene glycol monoalkyl ethers, dipropylene glycol monoalkyl ethers and alkoxy-substituted aliphatic alcohols.
  • Still preferred examples thereof include ethylene glycol mono-C1 ⁇ 6alkyl ethers, diethylene glycol mono-C1 ⁇ 6alkyl ethers, triethylene glycol mono-C1 ⁇ 6alkyl ethers, propylene glycol mono-C1 ⁇ 6alkyl ethers, dipropylene glycol mono-C1 ⁇ 6alkyl ethers and C1 ⁇ 6alkoxy-substituted C1 ⁇ 6aliphatic alcohols.

  • the water-soluble glycol ether may be added in any amount so far as the ink penetration rate is sufficient and PGmBE and DPGmBE are not subjected to phase separation.
  • the amount of the water-soluble glycol ether added is preferably in the range of from 5 to 60% by weight, still preferably in the range of from 5 to 15% by weight, based on the ink composition.
  • the water-soluble glycol ether is preferably added in an amount of not less than 0.5% by weight, still preferably 0.8 to 3% by weight, based on the total amount of PGmBE and DPGmBE.
  • the amount of the water-soluble glycol ether within the range improves the dissolution stability of PGmBE and DPGmBE.
  • the odor of glycol ether can be reduced.
  • the ink composition of the present invention may contain urea and/or a urea derivative.
  • the addition of the urea and/or urea derivative can surprisingly improve print density and prevent clogging of ink delivery ports.
  • the urea derivative include ethyleneurea, thiourea, biurea, biuret or tetramethylurea.
  • the amount of the urea and/or urea derivative added can be freely determined so far as the print density of the ink composition can be improved and, at the same time, clogging of nozzles can be effectively prevented. It, however, is preferably in the range of from 2 to 20% by weight, still preferably in the range of from 5 to 10% by weight, based on the ink composition.
  • the ink composition of the present invention may further comprise thioglycol.
  • thioglycol surprisingly enables the intermittent printing time to be prolonged.
  • the term "intermittent printing time" used herein is intended to mean the period of time for which the ink can remain undelivered without causing any unfavorable phenomena, such as clogging, in the subsequent resumption of printing.
  • the ink is delivered at given time intervals for the purpose of preventing nozzles from being clogged due to drying of the vicinity of the nozzles. This operation is generally called “flushing.”
  • the ink composition having a long intermittent printing time can prolong the time interval for flushing. This can advantageously avoid wasting the ink composition and, at the same time, increase the printing speed.
  • the addition of thioglycol is advantageous also from the viewpoint of improving the stability of the ink composition.
  • the ink composition of the present invention may further comprise a surfactant.
  • the addition of the surfactant may improve properties of the ink composition, such as the intermittent printing time.
  • Preferred examples of the surfactant include anionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, cationic surfactants and nonionic surfactants.

  • Fluorosurfactants particularly amphoteric or nonionic surfactants are especially preferably used. While the amount of the surfactant added may be freely determined, for the fluorosurfactant, the amount is preferably about 1 to 10,000 ppm.
